‘A Care-led Transition to a Sustainable Future’: New briefing paper unveils the interplay between care and climate change

‘A Care-led Transition to a Sustainable Future’: New briefing paper unveils the interplay between care and climate change

The Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (GI-ESCR) published a new briefing paper ‘A Care-led Transition to a Sustainable Future’.

The paper evaluates the multiple dimensions of the relationship between care and climate change to advance the understanding of how care can be a key tool to shape a just and fair transition towards a sustainable future.

The publication undertakes a comprehensive exploration of the connection between care and climate. It sheds light on how the provision of care intertwines with the climate crisis.

Specifically, it analyses how the climate crisis implies heightening the current lack of access and growing imbalances with respect to support for care. At the same time, the brief highlights the importance of strong care policies as a tool to build up the resilience of communities against the effects of the climate emergency.

Understanding the different aspects of this nexus is crucial for designing effective policies to tackle the climate crisis and push for an energy transition that leaves behind the injustices of the still predominant fossil-fuel based energy system.

The briefing paper is the fourth publication of a series exploring the relationship between the just transition, women’s rights, and gender equality. Our previous briefing papers covered the issues of: Renewable Energy and Gender Justice, Women’s Participation in the Energy Transition and on Setting a Roadmap for a Feminist Green Transformation.
